Mercury, Salt and Sulphur

Mercury, Salt and Sulphur - (3274)

Notes

Mercury, Sulphur and salt form a triad. They are always together. The function of this triad is to create. This triad is universal and primordial. This triad is present in the macrocosmos and in us - the microcosmos.

This triad of mercury, sulphur and salt is a combination of energy, matter and spirit. There are many synonyms for this triad, with the first synonym being: energy, spirit and matter respectively.

The many synonyms help to understand this trio better.

This trio is not to be understood literally, that is, not as physical mercury, physical sulphur or physical salt. Even though each of these three substances are quite special in their own right and possess some qualities that are akin to their real natures in the Alchemical or esoteric sense, they still must not be seen physically.

This trio is also a set of principles. This trio is a set of real forces. They are also very much like the Law of Three in action.

Here are some synonyms (order is sulphur, mercury and salt):

Spirit, Soul and Body
Fire, Water and Salt
Blood of Christ, Flesh of Christ and Salt of the Earth
Consciousness, Energy and Matter
Common Cosmic Father, Cosmic Mother and Illiaster or Protilo
Brain, Heart and Action

These three primordial elements form the basis of creation and the arche, which is a Greek word meaning 'origin' or 'first cause'. It is the chaotic swirling and mixing of the primordial forces and substances of creation. All created life is the result of Sulphur, Mercury and salt.

There is a cosmic Arche and there is also a microcosmic Arche.

Now it is time to go into each of these three elements.

Sulphur

Mercury

Salt

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
